Need an incentive to catch up on Medici, Netflix’s period drama about 15th century Florence? How about two: Bradley James and Daniel Sharman will star in the second season.

Set 20 years after the first season of Medici: Masters of Florence, season 2 follows a young Lorenzo the Magnificent and his brother Giuliano as they seek to make the iconic Italian city a financial and cultural hotspot in a quickly developing, early Renaissance-era Europe.

Via Variety, we’ve learned that Daniel Sharman (Teen Wolf, Fear the Walking Dead) will star as Lorenzo, the nephew of season 1 lead Cosimo, with Bradley James (Merlin, Damien) playing his brother Giuliano.

An Italian-British production (which is presented as a Netflix Original in the U.S., the U.K., Canada and other international territories), Medici: Masters of Florence is created by Frank Spotnitz and Nicholas Meyer.

Its first season starred Dustin Hoffman and Richard Madden, and has been generally well-received. It is available to stream on Netflix now.
